I hope your grandad and father recognise that this is what they have fought for. A world where their children DON'T have to join the army.
This meme is how society is supposed to work
Or a world where their children have to join the army for economic reasons to fight in an economic war for oil.
I feel like everyone should have to do a couple years of military service.
But only if leaders could be prevented from starting wars of conquest.
Which they can’t. So fuck the military.
I had a buddy who did 4 years of service (air Force I think) and came back with hearing damage. Personally, I'd rather not risk that for no real reason.
Heard many people from the army come back with hearing damage from operating a mortar. Who would have guessed that large explosions right next to your head would damage your ears? Also they aren't covering hearing damage in their benefits plans because it's too expensive.
